NBL EXPERIENCE
Cameron Thew made his NBL debut with the Adelaide 36ers at 23 years of age. He went scoreless in his first NBL game.
Following a seventh-place finish, Adelaide retained Mitch McCarron, Daniel Johnson, Sunday Dech, Hyrum Harris, Kai Sotto and Nick Marshall, while Isaac Humphries (to Melbourne), Mojave King (to G League Ignite), Todd Withers (to Rytas Vilnius), Cameron Bairstow (retired), Dusty Hannahs (free agent), Tad Dufelmeier Jr (free agent) and Emmanuel Malou (free agent) departed. CJ Bruton recruited Anthony Drmic (via Brisbane), Antonius Cleveland (via Illawarra), Robert Franks (via Brisbane), Craig Randall II (via Long Island Nets), Kyrin Galloway (via New Zealand) and Deng Acuoth (via Knox).
Cameron Thew joined Adelaide from the Northside Wizards on a one-year development deal alongside Fraser Roxburgh and Fiston Ipassou. Thew entered the professional environment as a long-term prospect and said, “It’s my dream to be able to do this as a job.”
Thew made his NBL debut in Adelaide’s opening game against Tasmania on October 13, where Thew (1 rebound and 1 assist) played 1:17 off the bench. Randall II (18 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 steal) and Franks (14 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 blocks) led Adelaide, but Magette (23 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, and 4 steals) helped Tasmania win 97-72.
Thew (0 points across 4 games) played only 4:13 during the season, with his opportunities limited by Adelaide’s established frontcourt of Franks, Johnson, Sotto, Harris, Galloway and Acuoth. His appearances came in short late-game stretches while his main role remained training and developing within the full-time program.
Thew was not retained among Adelaide’s development players for NBL24, with Roxburgh the only member of the NBL23 development group to return. Adelaide later finished eighth with a 13-15 record after losing its final game to Melbourne 116-107.
Cameron Thew played one season in the NBL.
